Sec. 264.96  Compliance period.

    (a) The Regional Administrator will specify in the facility permit 
the compliance period during which the ground-water protection standard 
of Sec. 264.92 applies. The compliance period is the number of years equal 
to the active life of the waste management area (including any waste 
management activity prior to permitting, and the closure period.)
    (b) The compliance period begins when the owner or operator 
initiates a compliance monitoring program meeting the requirements of Sec. 
264.99.
    (c) If the owner or operator is engaged in a corrective action 
program at the end of the compliance period specified in paragraph (a) 
of this section, the compliance period is extended until the owner or 
operator can demonstrate that the ground-water protection standard of Sec. 
264.92 has not been exceeded for a period of three consecutive years.
